I downloaded the newest HTML:Parser (3.13) and did the standard 
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

[download]

The make test gave me a lot of errors like this:
Ambiguous use of le => resolved to "le" => at blib/lib/HTML/Entities.p
+m line 322.

[download]

and the following output:
Failed Test  Status Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of failed

I did the make install anyway and it didn't report anything funny but when I tried to use 'HTML::Parser ()', I got: 
Undefined subroutine &main::start called 
at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/HTML/Parser.pm line 104.

I haven't gone into the Parser.pm code to look at 104. I was wondering if these errors indicate any sort of problem to any of you. I'm pretty new to module use (I've used LWP:Simple and that works just fine).
I'm using version 5.004_04 built for IP22-irix.

Thanks,
